Industrial Consumer-Led Flexibility Workshop
The IDRIC Industrial Consumer-Led Flexibility workshop explored how industry can support a decarbonised energy system by 2030. Flexibility was highlighted as a designed and managed capability, integrated into engineering and operations rather than a simple add-on. With the right mechanisms and alignment to investment processes, industry can deliver flexibility through buffers, auxiliary systems and multi-vector approaches.
